Every time some new information about the Bushies’ secret activities slips out, I think of that quote.
On tonight’s Hardball, MSNBC correspondent David Shuster reported (rush transcript from Raw Story):
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES SAY VALERIE WILSON WAS PART OF AN OPERATION THREE YEARS AGO TRACKING THE PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS MATERIAL INTO IRAN. AND THE SOURCES ALLEGE THAT WHEN MRS. WILSON’S COVER WAS BLOWN, THE ADMINISTRATION’S ABILITY TO TRACK IRAN’S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS WAS DAMAGED AS WELL.
This corroborates this story reported February 13 on Raw Story by Larisa Alexandrovna. In the original story, Alexandrovna wrote,
According to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.
Speaking under strict confidentiality, intelligence officials revealed heretofore unreported elements of Plame’s work. Their accounts suggest that Plame’s outing was more serious than has previously been reported and carries grave implications for U.S. national security and its ability to monitor Iran’s burgeoning nuclear program.
More background here.
Update: I just watched the re-broadcast of Hardball, and the transcript is accurate. That’s what Schuster said.

The question seems to be not how the righties will bury this , but could they? At this point it is time for the party to decide if they ever want the American people to take the republican party seriously again..
If the republicans do nothing given this information besides decide how to cover it, or spin it…instead of taking responsible action to reign control of their leader for the sake of their party the American public will get the message loud and clear.
It is now time for the righties to get a grip on reality..Their daddy/dear leader HAS done harm to the national security of our country…he has now become like the stoned parent unable to function and the children are left to be the adult…it’s time for the nice folks living in rightie world to stop daydreaming and wake up…grow up and take some responsibility for the monster they have created…..
IF the righties love this country at all it is time they start putting America before king george,,there better be a butt load of anger about this from the rightie blogs or we will know what their true agenda is…
Also I think it is time for righties who have spent their time proclaiming Ms. Plame was nothing more then a paper pusher with the CIA to start eating some MAJOR CROW….it seems she was working on some very heavy issues…the righties have been whining about Iran since they got bored with iraq(short attention span)……Perhaps we would not be in our current situation in Iran if the republicans were not so busy outing the agents working on them, then having their useful idiots make excuses for it.
It is time for all Americans to wake up and smell the treason.
Ahem….so, let’s see…..in 2003, the Cheney/Rove administration, for purely political reasons, outed and destroyed the career of a US agent who was working undercover to compile critical data on Iran’s nuclear ambitions …..
but now….. facing a nose-dive in the polls that might herald Democrats gaining the House and/or Senate and subpoena power, the same Cheney/Rove administration, for political revival/survival reasons, now wants us to forget about that and instead believe that they are credibly addressing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
…karma, anyone?
This is the difference between the Bushists and the Nazis. The Nazis weren’t so jaw-droppingly stupid.
I only have one thing to say hang them as they deserve.
And no I’m not kidding.
Traitors need to be…they cry out to be…hung by their fat necks until they are dead.
Just as dead as the, as of this post 2,617, coalition troops who are. Along with tens of thousands of Iraqi’s who were guilty of nothing more than living in a country that The Face of Evil chose…that’s right chose to invade.
A question for yer…are we any different from the Germans who lived under Mr. Hitler?
The answer my friends is: No.
Unless…
We bring Mr. Bush and his crimnal crew to justice.
I’m for it. How about you?
